obviously a grift but honestly, understandable. Heritage laws are a huge pain in the ass, and if you don't know that part/all of your house is heritage listed, than you get absolutely ass rammed.
Heritage laws are stupid but if you're wealthy enough to plop $5 million freaking dollars on a house, you're wealthy enough to buy a house that isn't a heritage property.
These people just don't want to admit they're such dipshits that they didn't pay attention when they signed all the paperwork.
Granted I'm not a lawyer let alone a Canadian one, but I would assume delisting heritage status of a property is an even bigger pain in the ass and it won't happen just because the original owner was a meany-pants. Especially if the original owner was a meany-pants because it would set a case for any heritage property to get delisted that way.
Either they're idiots that got roped into buying something cheaper in an even more expensive neighborhood and thought they lucked out. (Like people that wave inspection for discounts)
Or they knew exactly what they were doing and were planning on fighting it from the start.
